  • Publication number: 20060055315
    Abstract: The invention relates to a luminescence conversion led based illumination deice that emits primarily radiation in the range of from 370 and 430 nm of the optical spectrum (peak wavelength). Said radiation is converted to radiation having a longer wavelength using three luminescent substances that emit in the red, green and blue range.

  • Publication number: 20060022580
    Abstract: A luminescent powder (1) with luminescent particles (2) having an average luminescent-particle size (3) selected from the range of from 0.1 ?m inclusive to 5.0 ?m inclusive. The luminescent particles comprise primary particles (4) having an average primary-particle size (5) selected from the range of from 0.1 ?m inclusive to 1.0 ?m inclusive. The primary particles which, for example, consist of a cerium-doped yttrium-aluminum garnet (Y3Al5O12), are agglomerated to form the luminescent particles. A method for producing the luminescent powder has the following steps: a) preparing at least one precursor of the primary particles, b) producing the primary particles from the precursor of the primary particles, and c) forming the luminescent particles of the luminescent powder from the primary particles. The precursor for Y3Al5O12 is, for example, a powder mixture of hydroxides.

  • Patent number: 6850002
    Abstract: A device for the generation of specific colored light including white light by luminescent down conversion and additive color mixing based on a light-emitting diode (LED) comprising a semiconductor light-emitting layer emitting near UV light about 370-420 nm or blue light about 420-480 nm and phosphors which absorb completely or partly the light emitted by the light-emitting component and emit light of wavelengths longer than that of the absorbed primary light, wherein the light emitting layer of the light emitting component is preferably a Ga(In)N-based semiconductor; and at least one of the phosphors contains a metal sulfide fluorescent material activated with europium containing at least one element selected from the group consisting of Ba, Sr, Ca, Mg and Zn; and/or at least another phosphor which contains a complex thiometalate fluorescent material activated with either europium, cerium or both europium and cerium containing 1) at least one element selected from the group consisting of Ba, Sr, Ca, Mg and

  • Publication number: 20050001533
    Abstract: Discharge lamp with phosphor A discharge lamp (1) having a discharge vessel (2) which surrounds a discharge medium which emits electromagnetic radiation in the VUV region when the lamp is operating has, on the inner side of the discharge vessel wall, a first phosphor layer, which faces the discharge medium and comprises a UVA component which can be excited by the VUV radiation and is intended to emit electromagnetic radiation in the UVA region. Moreover, the discharge lamp (1) has a second phosphor layer, which can be excited by the UVA radiation and is intended to emit electromagnetic radiation in the visible region. This second phosphor layer either lies beneath the first phosphor layer or is applied to the outer side of the discharge vessel wall. This results in a lower color locus shift compared to a conventional phosphor mixture which can be excited directly by VUV radiation. (FIG.
